[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

I do believe I said something about garlic butter...

 

Ugh.

 

Garlic butter is awful.  A real Astartes eats it raw, like Akkad.

 

EDIT: Aww, look at Tyber, all grown up! ;)

 

Good call on the krak missile.

 

@ Reyner, If Vorr's in Strongpoint with me, he use his reaction for a second one....

Well to be fair, he did learn from charging a lictor and getting his bell rung.

[Mazer Rackham]

Good job it wasn't the dinner bell! ;)

[Steel Company]

Almost was, he got KO'ed from that hit and missed the fight.

MR.

Yeah sounds good, CM am I in Strongpoint? If so then fire ze missiles!

[Steel Company]

... I've got a plan, but I can't start to put it into action until next turn.

 

Unless someone else wants to take a krak missile and try to force it by hand into the pillar and try to detonate it with a with some grenades.

[A.T.]

Well if one of it's bodyguards doesn't get in the way of that shot then the overlord may be off chasing Atratus next round.

 

Need to try and keep it charging down things rather than letting it getting stuck in. Pity tyranids aren't known to respond to challenges and insults...

[A.T.]

I think we all need to get better leg armour, or start standing behind waist-high walls...

 

(also the sniper rifle is using the felling 2 rounds as the toxin needles don't work on the tyranids - so I think Atratus managed 6 more damage there)

[Commissar Molotov]

I couldn't work out where the second level of Felling came from - I will adjust!

 

EDIT: I've just been reading through Rites of Battle and I can't find the reference to that ammunition - only for shotguns. Where should I be looking?

It is derived from the shotgun ammo - you suggested using it rather than the rogue trader microblast needle ammo rules.

[Commissar Molotov]

Ah hah! So it's all my fault..!

[Steel Company]

Ah hah! So it's all my fault..!

I wouldn't say that, I'd say willing to explore new ideas to make a weapon a little more useful...

[Mazer Rackham]

I agree, though I suspect Mol's post is tongue firmly rooted in cheek

 

A GM should always be prepared to make a weapon option shinier or personal.

 

"There are many like it but this one is mine."

 

I mean, look at Cadence or Steel's Arming Toothpick.  I know a few GM's who wouldn't do that, because while it exists outside the system, RAW doesn't let it slide.

 

It's the mark of a GM prepared to work with their players.

 

EDIT: @ A.T chest high walls?  What is this, Gears of Warhammer? ;p

Last DW character was a heavy weapon techmarine who would take full advantage of reinforced knee-high walls. The rest of the squad would use him as cover... :p

[Commissar Molotov]

I've edited the post to account for Felling (2) - the Tyrant Overlord is now at 107 Damage.

[Steel Company]

Tyber's actions are up for the next round.

 

And a call back to a sparing match against Akkad...

I am partway through the update but my time may be slightly sporadic this weekend; it might not be until Sunday.

[Steel Company]

I get that CM, the weekend makes a mockery of all of out time.

[Reyner]

Chuffing lockdown and pandemic do it bad enough for me.

[Commissar Molotov]

Start of next round up, just in the midst of contacting Ninesword to get Greysight's actions.

 

As GM, I cannot stress enough that destroying the final pillar is a waste of ammunition compared to the imminent threat posed by the Tyrant.

[apologist]

Hey all, apologies for the absence; the combination of homeschooling, work and other projects are eating up my available time. Flailingly trying to keep up; so please bear with me!

[A.T.]

Post up. If anyone is trying to get closer to this thing then take a free move - if there is anyone left standing (or crawling in Varvosts case) within squad range of Atratus.

 

More hits to the ankles. 4 damage on 3 dice (with a reroll) not going to get the job done :p

I know CM, but I'm keeping in mind Tyber's thought process, and it is something he'd suggest trying. Mostly since he's thinking killing that pillar might kill these beasties.

[Mazer Rackham]

It's a good call A.T, everyone will get an extra whack!

 

@Steel, that's why I tried to make in character for Tyber.  Akkad respects his thinking, but he must keep that elbow up!

 

I'll maintain Strongpoint.  We MUST get Vorr a double Krak Missile per turn, or even offer AT a double sniper shot while it's safe to use their Reactions without reply, and I'm going to have to reload soon, (3 bursts left) so the HB will be out of the game for a bit.

 

Watch for when the Tyrant goes down as his friends will go angry rhino berserk.

[Commissar Molotov]

Thank you to you guys for pulling your weight with the narrative. I really appreciate it.

 

Apologist: Good to see you - I will email you this, but whilst Ghent is dead dead (and will need his progenoids extracted) both Montesa (who is "dead") and Varvost (who is on the verge of death and likely to be put down imminently) are not "dead" as they will be able to burn a fate point to survive. With Montesa, it's likely the Overlord has struck him in the bionics that you previously installed for him. Varvost will also be recovered, though he will need extensive work doing on him!
